That actually helps a bit. So if I understand correctly I could set the Rapid plane high enough to clear part+clamps, but maintain the feed switch at say 0.2" so I'm not drilling air for 30 seconds? That seems reasonable but the math would be different in each feature below the Z zero height. I'll try that out and see if that works better.
